Before you make a decision, read our comprehensive buyer&#8217;s guide below. This section looks at the key features to consider when shopping for this device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before buying a stand mixer, you should check the power levels. The higher the wattage, the more powerful it will be. This usually correlates with higher efficiency and a smoother mixture in less time. The best items will have a wattage of 1000 watts and above. However, be sure to consider the motor&#8217;s quality when deciding. Direct-drive motors and copper options are great choices to look out for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attachments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stand mixers often come with companion attachments so you can get started immediately. We recommend looking for a product that includes a wire whisk, paddle beater and dough hook, as these are often the most used items. Non-stick options are an excellent choice, as this feature makes removing your mixture from the attachment much easier. Some models are also compatible with add-ons, such as meat grinders or pasta rollers &#8211; so you can create your bespoke food processor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ease of Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best options will have intuitive controls and simple yet effective operation. Look out for a planetary mixing action feature. This mechanism ensures all of your ingredients are captured from the sides of the bowl. Utensil attachments should be smooth and hassle-free, and the buttons should be clearly marked and conveniently located. Furthermore, we advise choosing a model with dual handles for more comfortable use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noise Levels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some stand mixers can be rather noisy at higher speeds. If sound levels are important to you, look for a machine with quiet operation as one of its key features. Products that claim to run at 76 decibels or less are the best choices, as these are unlikely to disturb other members of your household during use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re whisking up cake batter or folding fresh pizza dough, baking prep can be a messy business. Choose a stand mixer with dishwasher-safe attachments and non-stick coatings. This way, you can spend more time enjoying your creations and less time cleaning up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our favourite pick and Editor\u2019s Choice is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Kenwood-kMix-Stand-Mixer-Cream\/dp\/B072175JWB\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Kenwood kMix (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Kenwood kMix<\/a>.
